U-N-I "Windows"

I actually have this West Coast duo in my own XXL 2011 Freshmen List.  Creativity at its finest.

Smoke DZA - Green House

We got another Cinematic Music Group member here in Smoke DZA.  The other members?  K.R.I.T. and Nipsey.  Nice lineup.  DZA's George Kush Da Button in stores Nov 9th.

Big K.R.I.T. – Before There Wuz Here (Mixtape)

K.R.I.T. has been on Air Strike in the past week more than anyone.  This tape he discusses where he found the samples for "Krit Wuz Here." Right here for the download link.  Shoutout to yourstru.ly.

Pusha T x Kanye West- Hot 97 Freestyle

Both of them KILLED this.  All acapella.

Joell Ortiz ft. Novel - Night Train

I really like this one, especially in the first verse when he mentions his kids.  Real rap.

Jon Hope - WaterFire: Collection of Emotions (Mixtape)

"Pressure" was the first track I heard from this tape, and it set the tone for the rest of the way.  Got Jon Hope on replay now.  Check it out for yourself- Jon Hope - WaterFire: Collection of Emotions

Big Sean ft. Chiddy Bang- Too Fake

"Xaphoon you crazy for this one!"  Love the feature from Chiddy Bang, and Big ripped it too.  This is off Finally Famous Vol. 3.

Wordsmith x Centric ft. DJ Noah Ayala- Hear the Whispers

Once you've been exposed to a Wordsmith track, you wanna hear the rest.  Feelin this for sure.  Wordsmith is one of the dopest/most fitting names too.

Mac Miller- Trippin Out

New track from Mac, who's slowly but surely takin over this new school game.
